Reviews from Rotten Tomatoes

Arranged in a handful of clear, concise chapters, "Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare" turns an unwieldy, Medusa-headed topic into a convincingly humane argument for change.

Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times, 10.04.2012

Like a doctor's carefully structured analysis of a patient's condition, the film breaks down its massive subject into manageable, clear, but not simplified parts.

Robert Koehler, Variety, 01.26.2012

There's no escaping the fact that the sheer profusion of similarly-themed efforts in recent years reduces their individual impact.

Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter, 10.05.2012

Cogent, convincing, determinedly non-ideological, "Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare" tells us that everything we think we know about that incendiary topic might be wrong. And it offers us a way out of the morass.
